Paducah Prize Winner


To England and Back, Cindy Vermillion Hamilton, Pagosa Springs, CO


Penny Tucker sent me an email to announce that Cindy Vermillion Hamilton won first prize at the American Quilters Society show in Paducah this week under the category of Handmade Quilts with a medallion quilt she made for a fabric challenge Penny organized last year. The quilts were to be medallions and use a certain amount of a Uwa reproduction print.

Here's a snapshot of Cindy's top being shown at AQSG last October. Her quilt is completely handmade down to the binding. To see a better shot of it quilted go to

Congratulations to Cindy.

    I love medallions. Do you have any in your collection?
    Can you give us a little history about medallions.
